Bad Photo

Photography Workshop: Bad Photo

This is a nice image, unfortunately one cannot capture an image like the way your eye perceives it at the time, especially when light is not abundant (eg indoors). I took the photo with no flash, and with all settings to normal (as if I had good lighting conditions), and it came out very dark (you probably can't see it on the screen of a computer very well, but it is a clear image of 2 faces. It's very natural and the 2 people don't know that there is a camera on them.
What are they looking at?

Photos capture an image and highlight a meaning (the purer and clearer the better), which may be external to the situation when the photo is taken. If the exposure is turned up, then the quality still won't be the same as from your eyes. The picture is darker and suggests a greater serenity than if it were brighter. The meaning is altered with the quality of the image.
